These Failings - By Amy Court and Joey Daigneault


Half empty, half full or half ass
It all depends what’s in the glass
It’s so far from perfect, I can’t even dream here to there
but a closet of bones means I always have something to wear

Don’t you see
I didn’t get into this blind
I’m over my head only most of the time
Don’t nobody save me; try to dissuade me
Cause all of these failings are mine

Got sugar to sweeten my mouth
And a compass for when I go south
And you don’t understand all the reasons I do what I do
All this teetering close to the edge means you can’t beat the view

Don’t you see
I didn’t get into this blind
I’m over my head only most of the time
Don’t nobody save me; no one persuade me
All of these failings are mine

My albatross gonna beat its wings away
All the luck I’ve lost gonna save this rainy day

Don’t you see
I didn’t get into this blind
I’m over my head only most of the time
Don’t nobody save me; no one persuade me
All of these failings are mine
